In 2008 I took a freedive AIDA Instructor Course with Jakob Hansen (a.o). At that time we were close to the same level in freediving. Since then - things have changed. I have been progressing a bit - and Jakob a bit more... He has qualified for the WC in pool in Århus in static. So we were training for this. Actually Im starting to like static more and more. Just floating around not doing one single thing... fight the contractions when they come, stay focused and positive - and first of all: Keep going!
Freedivers all have their ideas of how they wanted to be coached during static - so the coach has to know the athlete very well before a competition. This is definately teamwork. When it comes to static Im trying to learn the "no-warm-up" approach, but it has not taking me beyond the 5minutes yet. It becomes so nasty - so I chicken out somewhere in between 3 and 5 minutes. The second breathold is always better and yesterday it took me to 5.50 which I have only reached once before. Im very proud of that result and felt as if I had even more in me. Good. And Jakob? He is doing good. I look forward to see his perforamance, when I go to Århus tomorrow to cover the event for magazine http://www.fridykking.no/
